306771 - Event displayed in wrong date

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[石庭豐 (Seak, Teng-Fong)]

I've got an event starting from 2005.08.31 18:00 to 20:00.

In Month view, this event is displayed on the 1st August!  I'll attach an image
next.

In Multiweek view, this event is simply not displayed.

1.) Please attach a .ics export of the event in question.  
2.) What is your timezone?
3.) Try setting your system date to tomorrow, restart Sunbird, and see if the
event moves to the correct date.

My guess is that we're getting rollover dates from the views hack.

(In reply to comment #2)

TZ = GMT+1 (Paris)

I've tried to set my system date to tomorrow (09-03) but nothing changes.  I
also tried to set it to yesterday (09-01) but nothing changes either.

FWIW, in my own tree, with the new views, this problem disappears. So it seems
to be just a front-end bug in 0.3a1.  I can reproduce in normal nightlies, which
means it's TZ independent and date independent (since it's still 1 Sept. here) 
Despite the fact that it's front-end, we should still aim to fix it, if
possible, since it's fairly severe.

Also, let me just say that all this testing/bug filing you're doing is greatly
appreciated.  If you have access to IRC, you might want to consider signing on
to #calendar on irc.mozilla.org.  Tracking this stuff down often works better in
real-time chat.

Attachment: patch v1

Looks like these spots missed the regression fix from bug 302891.  Set the date
all at once.

Thanks for inviting me to IRC, but I don't really have much time :)

Patch checked in.

OT:
I don't quite get how the build were made and the directories mean.  I mean,
first we've got those directory 2005-mm-yy-07-trunk and 2005-mm-yy-08-trunk. 
Why have we got two builds for the same day?  At first, I think one is for Linux
and the other is for windows, but some directories have both.  And for some
days, the window build isn't available!

The last part is the hour, and that depends on when the build started (or
finished, i don't remember). The two machines might nog start at exactly the
same time. Sometimes they do, but not always.
And the windows box making the builds isn't working at the moment. That's a
temporary problem
For downloading builds, just use calendar/sunbird/nightly/latest-trunk/

Two machines... I see.  I thought I could test the latest patches but it seems
like I have to do so next weekend then.  Bye :)
